Why capitalize “I” but not “me”?
Is I more important than Me?
Is Me not of equal weight to I?

Sure, grammar gurus, I is a subject,
the doer, the mover of a sentence.
Me is the receiver, the object—

but the object of no less adoration
than I—am I right? Only in English
do we uppercase the I, the lone

single-letter pronoun. The logic
goes that lowercase i is difficult
to read, gets lost on the page.

Uppercase I symbolizes importance,
gives added weight to the first
person. But really, while we’re

at it, are not You worthy of
capitalization? For You and I
together make a We (or an Us).

You and Me and I and We—all of
Us pronouns getting personal,
meaningful to ourselves

and to each other, hand in
uppercase hand, skipping from
line to line to warmhearted line.
